Step 8 Taoist Trainer
The Tao of High Degree

Step 8 offers a clear pathway for learning to teach these ancient but effective practices in line with the current educational and training appropriate for our modern society with its sometimes conflicting demands on our resources of time and money. The focus is on outcomes and your demonstrating commitment and ability - you understand both are necessary. The training courses are accessible and pre-requisites kept to the minimum.

Step 8 is dedicated to individual "Trainer Training," and includes personal assessments of subject knowledge and your ability to pass it on. This takes into account individual learning and teaching abilities.
On successful completion of the Step 8 training you will either receive your Taoist Trainer Licence right away to teach Steps 1 to 4 without any further post-requirements, or be asked to repeat/assist specific course/s to reach an acceptable teaching standard.
For the sake of clarity, outcomes will be defined so that everyone knows and can agree on standards.

Pre-requisites for Step 8 are
a) to have attained Taoist Practitioner (TP) status and
b) after attaining TP, one series of assisting once on each of Steps 1 to 5, plus Taoist Shamanic Healing and the Tai Chi summer camp

You will have already taken most of the Steps to achieve Taoist Practitioner status: after completing Step 5 you take a simple assessment of your ability to:
demonstrate the Tai Chi form and explain the applications;
demonstrate and explain the basic structures of Iron Shirt Chi Kung;
demonstrate an understanding of and ability to explain and demonstrate the Jade Circle or Jade Arrows practices.

In summary: A Taoist Practitioner will have completed Steps 1 to 5 and, after successful assessment, be authorised to teach Basic Tai Chi, Intermediate Chi Kung, and Jade Circle or Jade Arrows.

A Taoist Trainer will have assisted on Steps 1 to 5, Taoist Shamanic Healing and Tai Chi Summer Camp, and, after satisfactorily completing Step 8 Training & Assessment, receive the London Tao Centre Trainer Licence to teach Steps 1 to 4.

You learn to teach traditional practices in a way appropriate for our cultural roots and suited to modern society
